I see your point of course - however the decision to go 3D has been already made without a doubt and will not be flip flopping. 3D adds a percentage cost over and above a regular 2D production and so therefore MUST be included in budgeting. GDT negotiated his fee for this undertaking (no doubt taking points as well as a base salary) and PJ has a total budget in mind, and so GDT would have to agree to those numbers that include 3D (we are pretty damn sure it is happening!).

Even more important is that the director would only sign on if he thinks he is capable of creating 3D magic. We know PJ can. And now it seems that, working with PJ, the two of them can!!

THAT is awesome. I just want confirmation on this - I know PJ will be holding it back a bit because they want to release morsels of information like a rock skipping in a pond until the release dates. So yes this decision has already been made. Absolutely. We just don't know the official outcome yet for, I think, marketing reasons.

REGARDLESS. You are right. Let's celebrate the moment and welcome Guillermo with open arms because he does have a rare and unique talent that when combined - like a true fellowship - with Peter's vision and storytelling, is going to sweep us up and throw us to the back of the theater. Not once, but TWICE! Love this franchise!
